Tracy Grimshaw has made a shock confession about her bad habits – and it’s all thanks to her new show.
The former A Current Affair presenter examined her own health in her new series Do You Want To Live Forever? and admitted that she consumes more alcohol than she previously realised.
Appearing on her old haunt A Current Affair on Friday, the television host admitted: ‘I think I’ve discovered I’m a binge drinker.
‘I thought in the last few years I only really drink maybe one or two days a week, that’s not very much. Five days my liver gets a rest’ she went on.
‘But that’s actually not good enough because if you go out and give it a belt on a Saturday night you’re actually a binge drinker, you’re not a moderate drinker.
‘So I’ve kind of taken that on board’ Tracy added.
The new show will examine the secrets to longevity and Tracy herself has been inspired to change some of her habits as a result.
The health and science docuseries will also star Dr. Nick Coatsworth, who guides six Aussies on a powerful journey to stop the clock and turn back time.
It comes after Tracy bravely showed viewers what she will look like when she becomes elderly.
In a promotional video for Do You Want To Live Forever? the presenter first showed off her new blonde hairdo and youthful visage.
The 64-year-old then underwent digital ageing, with computer effects showing what she will look like as the years progress.
Throughout the effect, she is eventually shown with grey hair, deep wrinkles and sagging jowls.
Tracy admitted in the clip that she fears ageing and becoming ‘frail’ as well as losing her strong mind.
The television veteran’s next TV project after leaving A Current Affair was confirmed earlier this year.
‘I’m keen to explore exactly what a long life will look like,’ Tracey said in a statement about the project.
‘I’m a bit of a medical nerd so the research has been a pleasure,’ she added.

Do You Want To Live Forever? will examine if we really can wind back our biological clocks, analyse the secrets of living younger longer according to Nine’s press release.
Tracy stepped away from ACA in 2022 with former Today co-host Ally Langdon filling her seat from January last year.
Langdon revealed she was given priceless advice from Grimshaw, who helmed the show for 17 years.
‘I spoke to Trace a lot in the lead up to the host announcement being made and I remember a conversation we had as she was driving in ahead of her final show,’ she told The Herald Sun.
‘She told me to listen to the ACA audience; they are smart, they know what they are talking about, but find your own way and be authentic,’ Allison explained.
Do You Want To Live Forever? premieres Monday, June 17 at 7:30pm on Channel Nine
